Early passage of a compromise “relicf” bill along Hoover's proposal was predicted yesterday in the House of Representa- tives upon receipt of the presidential message vetoing the Garner-Wagner bill on account of its provision for loans to “individuals.” Workers Will Get Nothing The new bill will contain no proe vision for aid of any kind to the starving jobless workers. The sete tion of the Garner-Wagner Bill calle ing for a limited amount of public works will be further modified ace cording to Hoover's “starvaton policy. It is clear therefore that not even a “promise” of employment in the distant future and for a few workers will be contained in the “relief” bill, Garner and Wagner agree on Hoo- ver's proposal. All Aid to Bankers, Says Hoover The fight over the best method of providing relief to the bankers and business men through the Finance Reconstruction Corporation will be ended by striking out of the new bill the provision for loans: to “individ- uals.” Fight for Social Insurance In answer to Hoover's hunger and war policy, the workers rally for struggle demanding social insurance at the expense of the government. They show an ever firmer determina- tion to fight against Hoover's policy of starving the jobless,and their chil- dren
